******************


We have a QMS Lasergrafix 1200 laser printer.  It can produce
letter quality output on single sheets at l2 pages/minute.  It can also draw
graphs and use several different fonts -- large, small, italic, gothic, and
Greek.  Several of the fonts can be used sideways.

The printer can be used in several different modes:

  Line Printer -- Several size fonts are available; with the small font
     132 characters will fit across a regular piece of paper.

  Diablo -- It will accept the escape codes for the Xerox printer; this is
     then one way to do superscripts and subscripts and right justification.

  Graphics -- It can be given vectors or individual dots.  There is a program,
     TEKLAS, that converts Tektronix plot files into laser plot files.

  TeX -- Support for the TeX typesetting system is in the works, completion
     probably by fall or winter.

  QUIC -- It has a set of characters that can be printed in any size; the
     only drawback is that this font is just coarse, block style letters.

  Bar Codes -- Yes, if you want, it can.

  Forms -- You can easily design your own forms and incorporate them with
     your printouts.  (The word "forms" is used here to mean lines, boxes,
     columns and other usually pre-printed material.)


Cost is 8 cents/page.
